The Young Sinclairs' New Line-up Rocks Strange Matter!
THE
YOUNG SINCLAIRS made a second live appearance in as many months in Richmond,
VA on Saturday February 9, 2013. The band, which also contains two new members
(both based in Richmond, VA - and also play in indierock outfit PEACE
BEAST) blazed through a set list kicking off with the high energy of
the title track from their 2010 PSR 7" EP (also appearing as an album
track via the 2010 LP "Chimeys") We Spoke Our Minds".
The night was filled with some familiar classic Sinclairs songs: "Have
A Home", "You Know Where To Find Me", and "I'll Get
Even" among others. The Young Sinclairs also introduced several
new tracks from "Far Away From Near" to the lastest single
release - "Hurt My Pride" - and it's B-side "Nothin'
To Say" . The band sizzled through a solid evening of melodic classic
jangly/chimey guitar drivenindiepop/rock. Also on the bill for the evening:
PEACE BEAST (which includes Joe Lunsford & Kyle Harris
of YS) and former Young Sinclairs guitarist SEAN POFF and his
band THE MISSIONARIES. Richmond based band HEAVY MIDGETS closed
the evening out. Lead Sinclair Sam Lundsford confirmed more dates
coming - a date in Boone, NC is the newest confirmed.
